The MREA is working to protect the environment by educating the public about appropriate use of natural resources to meet our energy needs. The MREA will provide the highest quality renewable energy education and training experiences available. Our programs and services will respond to evolving energy issues, empower people to make wise lifestyle choices, and be accessible to the broadest possible audience. We will share our success with other like-minded organizations, recognizing that we are stronger when we all work together for our common goals.

Dedication to Community:

The MREA manages education programs and partnerships throughout the Midwest in an effort to expand the market for renewable energy, making this once 'alternative' energy our foremost option. MREA works with communities through the Grow Solar initiative, making solar energy cost competitive. MREA founded the Power Pack, and Solar Power Hour (sm), designed to educate consumers about the benefits of solar energy, how to go solar and give interested participants access to a unique solar purchasing program that connects you with your local solar installers and manufacturers.
Each third weekend in June, MREA hosts The Energy Fair. The Fair is the longest running energy education and sustainable living event in the nation and offers programs for all ages and knowledge levels. Over 200 businesses and non-profit organizations exhibit at The Fair, representing a full spectrum of energy and environmental services including: renewable energy, energy efficient products, environmental advocacy groups, and educational organizations. It's a great way to connect with professionals in the industry and move your project forward.
